Daniel, not named in this list, is found on a map of 1860, living in Hinsdale; seemingly in the dwelling occupied by Rodolphus Loop, son of Henry.
Rodolphus differed from the otheres of his group in that he was almost childless. Born 1808-09 in Vermont, he was living in Hinsdale, Cattauragus county with his wife Phebe in 1850. She was born in 1822. With them was a daughter, Lynda A., born in 1846. Lynda is there described as a male. With Rodolphus Loop and Phebe at this time were living Pliny Aldrich, 53, a laborer, born in Mass, Louisa Aldrich, born in Vermont, and a younger Louisa, aged 22. Manifestly these are marriage connections of Rodolphus Loop.
A Rodolphus Loop with Riverias, was a tax payer in Ceres in 1836. The 1870 census shows this John Loop with his wife Eliza and a daughter Eliza at the age of 27, his Post Office being Allegany Bridge. But he was located in Eldred, taken from the earlier Ceres. The name Allegany Bridge was dropped.
With the passage of time, Daniel Loop roved far from McKean county. In 1891 he wrote from Central City, Merrick County, Nebraska. Strangely enough when asked about his family he named only Rodolphus as a brother, and his sister Betsy Drake. He stated that his mother was Betsy (Elizabeth) Hooker, who died in McKean county. And although Betsy stated that her father come from Holland, Daniel insisted that his grandparents came from Germany. It is not possible that both were right.
Among the sons of Henry Loop of Vermont and Eldred was Almond, born May 25, 1810. That is before Henry is recorded in Eldred and probably a native of NY state.
An Almond Loop was in McKean county., in Bradship township sitting pretty on 240 acres of Delaware county land. In Hazel Green township, Norman Loop had a good holding. Vermont Henry’s son Almond was born, say his near relatives, May 25, 1810, being next younger than Rodolphus, who was born in Vermont in 1809. This fixes henry’s return from Vermont as 1809-10. The dates show Henry’s son Almond as 17 years older than the Almond whom we find in PA in 1850 and in IA in 1870.
William Loop, eldest son of the first Riverius and grandson of Henry, was born during the year in which his father became 21; probably before this birthday. He is perhaps the William of the Eldred group who had a land deal in Erie county, PA, near the mid-century. At all events there is mention of Eldred land and the Eldred Loops acknowledge him as one of their group.
Riverius, age 45, Harrison 32, Phelo (?) 31, are censused as heads of families in McKean county in 1860; besides Almond, Harrison was son of John and Eliza. He had a wife Emily who seems a second wife, and six younger male Loops living in his family. Three of these, George, Fernando, and Simon are listed as laborers and are presumed to be Harrison’s brothers, who had doubtless found work near his home. George and Simon are listed as 21 years old, Fernando as 19. They were then, sons of John and Eliza (Hooker) Loop.
